Biomathematics, B.S. _______________________<br />

Major Code: 7078 Degree Awarded: Bachelor <strong>of</strong> Science<br />

Age Restriction: N Admission status: undergraduate<br />

Delivery Mode/s: classroom only Location/s: main campus<br />

Mathematical biology (biomathematics) is a highly interdisciplinary<br />

program at the intersection <strong>of</strong> mathematics, biology and computer<br />

science. The program is <strong>of</strong>fered through collaboration between<br />

the mathematics and biology departments. Primarily during the<br />

freshman and sophomore years biomathematics majors complete<br />

core courses, then specialize during the junior and senior years.<br />

Specialization is based on interest in computer science, mathematics<br />

or biology, while retaining interdisciplinary training.<br />

The interdisciplinary nature <strong>of</strong> the program enables undergraduates<br />

who are interested in combining mathematics, computer science<br />

and biology to be more competitive for graduate programs and<br />

careers in bioinformatics, biostatistics, biomedical engineering,<br />

biomathematics or medicine.<br />

Degree Requirements<br />

Candidates for the Bachelor <strong>of</strong> Science in Biomathematics must<br />

complete the minimum course requirements as outlined in the following<br />
